3D reconstruction of the lumbar vertebrae from anteroposterior and lateral dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry
Current vertebral fracture prevention measures use Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) to quantify the density of the vertebrae and subsequently determine the risk of fracture. This modality however only provides information about the projected Bone Mineral Density (BMD) while the shape and spatial distribution of the bone determines the strength of the vertebrae. Quantitative Computed Tomog...
متن کاملComparison of Bone Mineral Density Measured by Dual X-ray, Axial Dual-energy Photon X-ray Absorptiometry and Laser Absorptiometry of Calcaneus
The objective of this study was to validate the use of bone mineral measurements of the calcaneus bone by dual X-ray and laser (DXL) in a cross-sectional study carried out in an osteoporosis clinic. Measurements of bone mineral density (BMD) at proximal femur and spine were obtained by dual-energy photon X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). Osteoporosis was defined by a DEXA T-score <-2.5 at the femora...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Modeling of Dual and Triple Photon Energy Absorptiometry Technique
Introduction: Osteoporosis is a bone disease in which there is a reduction in the amount of bone mineral content leading to an increase in the risk of bone fractures. The affected individuals not only have to go through lots of pain and suffering but this disease also results in high economic costs to the society due to a large number of fractures. A timely and accurate diagnosis of this disea...
متن کاملThe utility of single-photon absorptiometry and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry.
T w o decades ago researchers at the University of Wisconsin showed that 125I photon absorptiometry could be used to measure bone mineral in the forearm easily and accurately with little radiation exposure (1). Surrounding the arm with water or other soft tissue-equivalent material of constant thickness provided uniform extra-skeletal attenuation; the incremental attenuation by bones was linear...
متن کاملDual X-Ray Photon Absorptiometry: Beyond the Bone Quantity?
Osteoporosis is a characterized by low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration, with a consequent increase in bone fragility [1]. Bone strength impairment leads to an increased risk of fracture, as strenght reflects the integration of bone quantity (bone mineral density, BMD) and bone quality [2]. Common sites of osteoporotic fractures are spine, hip, distal forearm and proximal homerus....
